Tbe Wild Diick Shooter.
BY JEAW ISGELOW.
The cnarity of the rich is much to be
commended, but ho-v beautiful is the
charity of the poor !
Call to mind the coldest day you ev
er experienced. Think'ofthe bitter wind
and driving snow ; think how you shook
and shivered kow the sharp, white par
ticles were driving against your face
how, within doors, the carpets were lifted
like billows along the floors, the wind
howled and moaned in the chimneys,
windows cracked, doors rattled and every
now and then heavy lumps of snow came
thundering down with a dull weight from
the roof.
Now hear my story.
In one of the broad, open plains of
Lincolnshire, there is a long, reedy sheet
of water, a favorite resort of wild ducks
At the northern extremity stands two
mud cottages, old, and out of repair.
One bitter, bitter night, when the snow
lay three feet deep on the ground and a
cutting east wind was driving it about,
and whisteling in the dry frozen reeds
at the water's edge, and swinging the
bare willow -trees till their branches
swept in the ice, an old woman sat spin
ning in one of these cottages before a
moderately cheerful fire. Her kettle was
singing on the coals; she had a reed can
dle pf home-made rushlight on her table,
but the full moon shone in, and j. the
brighter light of the two. Theje two
cottages were far from the road cr any
other habitation ; the old woman was
therefore surprised, as she sat drawing
out her thread, crooning an old north
country song, to her a sadden knock at
the door. ' .
It was loud and impatient, not likeTj3
1 l . L -LI f .1 ..1.7
Knocii oi tueir umguujra iiuia iuc uiu
cottages; bat the door was bolted, an
the old woman rose Jpoked out, and sa
a shivering figure, apparently that of
youth.
"Trampers," said the old woman $e
tenuously, "tramping folks be not wants
here."
So saying she went back to the fir!
without deigning to answer the door.
The youth, upon this, tried the do
and called to her to beg admittance.
She heard him rap the snow from I
shoes against her lintel, and again knot
ed, as if he thought she was deaf, and
should surely gain admittance if he cot
pply make her hear.
The old woman, surprised at tb is a
dacity, went to the casement, and wi
all her pride of passion, opened it, ai
inquired his buisiness.
"Good women," the stranger bega
"I only want a seat at your fire.
"Nay.V said the old woman, giving
feet to her words by her uncouth diale
'thou'll get no shelter here, lVnrpccdea'to liirih'em up, she said :
to give to beggars a dirty, wet critter,"
she continued wrathfully, slamming too
the door. "It's 'a vonder where ,
found any water, too, seeing it fref r.'s io
hard a-body can get none for the-kenta,
saving what is broked Up with a hatchet.
On this the beggar turned hastily aw5y.
And at this point in his narrative, the
person who told it to me stepped and said :
"Do you think the old woman was
very much to blame ?"
She might have acted more kindly,"
I replied. "But why do you ask ?"
"Because," he said, "I have heard her
conduct so much reflected on by those
who would have thought nothing of.it if
jt bad not been for the consequence."
''She might have turned him away less
roughly," I observed.
"That is true," he continued, "but in
any case, I think, though we might give
them food or money, we should hardly
invite beggars in to sit by the fire."
"Certainly cot,"' I replied, "and this
woman could not tell that the beggar was
honest."
"No," said he. "But I must go on
with my narrative."
The stranger turned very hastily away
from the door, and waded through the
deep snow toward the other cottage.
The bitter wind hlpeji to drive him to
wards it. It no less poor than the first ;
and when he had tried the door, found it
bplted, and knocked twice without attract
ing attention, his heart sank within him.
His hand was so numb with cold that he
made scarcely any nci3 ; he tried again.
A rush candje was burning within,
and a matronly looking woman sat be?
side the fire. She held an infant in her
arms, end had dropped asleep; but this
third knock roused her, and wrapping her
apron around her child, sho opened the
door a little wty and demanded what he
wanted: '
'Good woman," the youth began, "I
hare had the misfortune to fall in -the
water this bitter night, and I am so num
bed I can hprdly walk."
The woman gave him a sudden, ear
nest look, and then sighed.
Come in," said she, "thou art so nigh
the size of my Jem, I thought at first It
was him come home from sea."
The youth stepped across the threfhold,
trembliDg withcold and wet; and no
wonder, for his clothes were completely
increased with tvet and mud. and the wa
ter dripped from them with every step
he took on the sanded jloor.
'Thou art in a sorry plight," said the
woman, "and it be two miles to the nigh
est house, thy teeth chatter so pitifqlly,
I can scarce bear to hear them.
She looked at him more attentivly, and
saw that he was a mere boy, not more
than sixteen years of age. Her mother
ly heart was touched "for him. 4'Art
hungry ?" she asked, turning to the ta
ble ; thou art wet to the skin. What has
thou heen doing?" ' ;.
Shooiing wild ducks," said the boy
lOh !"said the hostess, "thou art one
of the keeper's boys, then I reckon ?"
He followed the direction of her eyes,
and saw two portions of bread set upon
the table, with a small piece of bacon on
each. ;
'My master is very late," she ob
served, for charity did not make her use
elegant language, and by her master she
meant her husband : 'but thou art wel
cm to my bit and sup, for I was waiting
for' him; may be it will put a little
'i'armth in the to eat and drink," so say
ng she took up a mug of beer from the
hearth and pushed it toward him, ;vith
her share of the supper. .
Thank you," said the boy, "but I am
. i,t.,. ..... . i. : .,,-r,, '
'Ah!lad, lad, I doubt thy head has
been under water ; thy mother would
have been sorely frightened if she could
have seen thee a while ago."-
"Yes," said the boy, and in imagina
tion the cottage dame saw this said moth
er a care-worn, hard-working creature
like, hereself ; vvhile the youthful gust
sew in imagination a beautiful and court
ly lady ; and both saw the same love, the
si.nie anxiety, the same terror at sight
c I ; a lovely body struggling in the moon
light through breaking" ice, with no one
to help him, catching at the frozen reeds,
and then creeping up shivering and be
numed to a cottage door.T
But even as she stooped the woman
forgot her imagination, for she had ta
ken a waistcoat into her hands, such as
had never passed between them before,
and & gold pencil-case dropped from the
pocket, and on the floor, among a heap
oftnud that covered the outer garments,
lay a white shirt sleeve, so white, indeed,
and fine, that she thought it could hard
ly be worn by a squire.
She glanced from the clothes to the
pwner. $e had thrown don his cap.
and his fair curly hair and broad fore
head convinced her that he was of a gen
tle birth j but while she hesitated to si;
down, he sat a chair for her, and said
with boyish frankness: "I say, what a
lonely place this is ; if you had pot let
me in, the water would have all - frozen
on me before I reached home. Catch
me a duck shooting again by myself !"
"It's very cold sport that, sir," said
the woman.
The young gentleman assented most
rfdily, and asked if he might stir the fire.
"And welcom, sir," said the woman.
She felt a curiosity to know who he was,
and ho partly satisfied Jier by remark
ing that he was staying at Dean Hall, a
house about five miles off, adding that in
the morning he had broken a hole in the
ice very near the decoy, but it had iced
over so fast, that in the dusk he had
missed it and fallen ini for it would, not
bear him. He had made some landmarks
and taken every precaution, but he sup
posed the sport had excited him so much
that, in the moonlight, he had passed
them by.
He then told her of bis attempt to get
shelter ip the other cottage:
"Sir," said the woman, "if you had
said you were a gentleman "
The boy laughed: "I don't think I
knew it, my good woman,"' he replied,
"my senses were so benumbed; for I
was some time struggling at the water's
edge among the broken ice. and then I
believe I vvas dearly an hour creeping up
to your cottage door. I remember it all
rather indistinctly, but a3 soon as I felt
the fire and drank the warm beer, I wa3
a different creature."
While they still talked the husband
came in, and while he was eating his
supper, they agreed that he would walk
to Dean Hall, aud. let its inmates know
of the gentleman's safety ; and when he
was gone they made up the fire with ai
the coal that remained to that door house
hold, and the woman crept up to bed and
left her gust to lie down and rest before
it.
In the grey dawn the laborer returned
wjth a servant leading a horse, and brin
ging a fresh suit of clothes.
The young gent leman took his leave
with many thanks, slipping three half
crowns into the. woman ,s hand; probably
all the money he had about him. And I
must not forget to meutioc that he kissed
the baby, for, wh'jn the tells the 6tory,
the moth:: always adverts to that circum
stance with (treat prUe, adiicj that her
child, being as "clean as wax, was quite
fit to be kissed by anybody."
Missus, said her husband, as uioy
stood fn elborway leering after tl:ir
gust, "who dost think that be 1"
"I don't know," answered the missus.
"Then I'll just tell the. That be young
Lord W., so thou mayest be a proud wo
man, thou sits apd talks with the lords,
and ask them to supper, ha, ha !" So say
ing the master shouldered his spade and
went his way, leaving her clinking the
three half-crowns in her hand, and con
sidering what she si ould do with them.
Her neighbor from the other cottage
presently stepped in, and when she heard
the table ant) saw the money, her heart
was ready to break with envy and jeal
ousy.
"Oh, to think that good luck should
have come to her door, and ?he have
been so foolish as to turn it away. Sev
en shillings and six-pence for a morsel of
food and a night's shelter, it is nearly a
peek's wages 1"
So there, as they both supposed, the
matter ended, and the next week the
frost was sharper than ever. Sheep
were frozen in the lenny fields, and poul
try on their perches, but the good women
had walked to the nearest town and
bought a blanket. It was a welcom ad
dition to their bed covering, and it wa3
many a long year since they had been so
comfortable.
But it chanced one day at noon that,
looking out at her casement, she spied
three yo&ng gentlemen ska ting along the
ice towarher cottage. They sprang on
the bank. toVTTtheir skates, and mage
for her door.' N young nobleman in-
formed her thariie-Aad had such a se
vere cold he could not come to see her
before.
"He spoke as pleasantly," she ob
served, in telling the story, "as if I had
been a lady, and no less! And then he
brought a parcel out of his pocket; 'and
I've been over to B., he says, and bought
you a book for a keep-sake, and I hope
you will except it; and then all talked
as pleasantly as could be for a matter of
ten minutes, and went atvay. bo 1 wai
led till my master came home, and we
opened tLe parcle. and there was a fine
Bible inside, all over gold and red mo
roco, and my name was written, inside ;
and, bless him ! a ten pound note doubl
ed down over the names. J'm sure when
I thought he was a poor, forlorn crea
ture,, he was welcom. So my master;
paid out part of the money in tools, and
we rented a garden, and he goes over on
market days to sell what we grow. Sq
now thank God, we want for nothing."
This is how she generally concludes
- j
the little history, never failing to add
that the young lord kissed her baby.
"But," said my friend, "I have not
told you what I thought the lest part pf
the anecdote. When this poor Christian
woman was asked what had induced her
to take in a perfect stranger, and trust
him wjth the best clothing her husband
afforded, she answered simply: Well, I
saw him shivering and shrinking, so 1
thought, thou shalt ccme in for the sake
of Him that had nbi where ta lay his
head.
The old woman in tha pther cottage
may open her door every bight of her
future life to some forlorn beggar, but
it is all but certain that she will never
open it to a nobleman in disguise !
Let us do good, not to receive more in
return, but as an evidence of gratitude
for what has already been bestowed.
In a fewer words, let it be "all for the
love and nothing for the reward-"
Good Health is paramount to wealth,
if the system is in bad order purge it
out the vile humors and distempers with
Roback's Blood Pills, and get the inter

functions and once in prder, keep them
so with Roback's Stomach Bittehs.
SuT prising, It is actually surprising
how soon our people have learned to
prize that invaluable article known as
Coe's Dyspepsia Cure. It certainly acts
like ms gic, for it will cure the rery worst
case of dyspepsia and enable the patient,
who has lived for years upon Graham
bread and the plainest food, to eat any
thing he chooses without fear of distress.
It is considered the most valuable medi
cine known for all diseases of the stom
ach; an4 bowels.

was convinced by the eloquence of his
fair friend that he bad thus far been re
miss, expressed contrition for the fault,
confessed, and ended with offering him
self to the lady, telling her she could not
certainly ypject him after pointing out
his heinous offence. The lady replied
that she would be most happy to take the
situation so uniquely advertised, and be
come bone of his bone and flesh of his
flesh, but there was oneto her serious
obstacle.
"Well," said the Judge, "name it. My
profession is in surmount such obstacles."
"Ah ! Judge, this is beyond your pow-
ers. 1 nave vowea 11 1 ever married a

"Ten childern ! 0, that's nothing,"
says the Judg. I'll give you five now,

A young gentleman, a member of our
college, was expelled for the crime of
drawing young ladies up to his room by
means of a basket from his window. Of
